More like the fee's / bonuses for Neymars Dad. When you hear the sort of stuff Barca did for him, the mind boggles

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
£200M was decent value for Neymar.
But £178M for a teenager who has played well for half a season, is ridiculous!
Now if they refuse it could they bee seen to be in breach of contract?
I think when the player is given the money, it would render him self employed for that instance, his costs would equal his income (the money given to him is the same amount as the money given to the club or league to buy him out of the contract), therefore he has no profit, and no tax to pay.
That would be my understanding anyway.
I totally agree. He might be the best player in the world one day but he could also go backwards. Half a season isn't enough to base a player on.
Its time for UEFA or FIFA to step in and say that players are not slaves to be held against their will by Barca, hehe.
I really rate him.
I'm assuming the release clause is handled by La Liga because it involves the player buying out his contract, so the issue would be there I guess.
PSG are probably turning towards Barca so that the transfer can be handled without the release clause being involved?
The numbers published by the media about Mbappe mean absolutely nothing. You would need to take a look at an actual offer and see what kind of bonuses are being included. Some of those bonuses are based on being POTY, or winning UCL, etc, so Monaco may never see that money. Surely Monaco have not sold because after looking at the small print they determine the offers are worth much much less than the published numbers.
Didn't La Liga OR fifa say the whole slave thing when Ronaldo asked to leave United?
Dream scenario that would be so funny, and hopefully would make some players think twice before jumping on the Barca train of slavery
I'd have him for £20m, that'd be a bargain. If Dortmund bought him, then I think Dembele will be off to Barca.
Wouldn't it be cheaper for Neymar to buy his contract with PSG money, totally bypassing La Liga. Would be cheaper to.
So they are going to lose both Ozil and Sanchez for free next summer?
That tweet made me die inside a little
French league ask La Liga to approve deal
The French league (LFP) said in a statement:
The LFP is surprised and does not understand the refusal of La Liga to simply accept the payment of the release clause of the player Neymar.
The LFP asks the Liga to abide by the Fifa rules and its responsibilities.
The LFP supports Paris Saint-Germain and wishes Neymar to join the Ligue 1 championship.
The legal services of the LFP are in support and at the disposal of Paris Saint-Germain so that the Neymar contract is approved as soon as possible.

With Neymar coming in this summer I think it's the best solution for all parties: Arsenal will keep their main man and increase chances for CL, PSG can push for him next summer when new funds are available and Sanchez will get the contract he requires from PSG next summer.
Diego Costa and his team are furious with chelsea, it is impossible for him to remain there and he won't leave for any other club but Atletico Madrid.
Can be upset all he wants, but isn't he under contract drawing his wages? I suppose you could accuse Chelsea of acting like cnuts how they've handled this, but boo hoo, life is tough sometimes. You don't always get your way.
Barsa would be open to negociate for more than 222m€,to be able to include some player as Draxler or a anti Madrid clause for Neymar
what the hell? Surely this nonsense sets a bad precedence for release clauses in Spain going forward?Surely they mean they will sell for 220 mil minus the value of Draxler if he's included in a deal.
Will be a lot of clubs trying to get him when he leaves for free next summer. I wonder who will offer him the highest wages.
If PSG deal directly with the club they avoid the tax implications of giving Neymar the cash. So in theory they can justify paying more. Barca asking for Draxler secures them a replacement without overpaying for Coutinho/Dembele or whoever.
The tax situation with La Liga was changed a couple of years back.
The anti-Madrid clause is very smart. Who doesn't expect Neymar to end up at Real after PSG? Seems really obvious.
anyone else think we might be done?
PSG should add a anti-Barca clause into their star players' contracts from now on. That would be awesome
Even Madrid can't pay 220m for a player. And PSG might even ask for more. So that's ruled out anyway.
Don't think Barca will be done for breach of contract. Forgot where I read that release clause is conditional to being accepted by La Liga.
I assume this is normally a formality but I guess not this time.
Now we have La Liga and LFP arguing and potentially bringing in FIFA. This is going to be fun to watch

Whats going to be better is the sheer bad blood between PSG/Barcelona/La Liga and Ligue 1 for years to come
So glad La Ligas monopoly is breaking its an absolute joke that both teams have 6 of the best attackers in the world and no other european club can do anything about it.
And what a joke it is that the premier league let go of these players go because "the weather in Spain is better" so these world class players prefer to play there. We should have thrown enough money to Ronaldo, Bale and Suarez till they started preferring the UK weather.

We should add an anti-Madrid clause to all our contracts too!
